<h1>Reading Nodes in the Generic Client</h1>
<p>The client provides the ability to read 1...n nodes in a single call, 
 while providing a number of options enabling you to finely-tune the Read.</p>
<p>Simply locate a node within the address-space browser and then right-click 
 and choose <span style="font-weight: bold;">Read</span> from the context-menu. 
 The following multi-step dialog will open:</p>
<h3>Step 1 - Choose the Nodes to Read</h3>
<p class="Picture"><img src="image62.gif" alt="" style="border: none;"

<p>Within this dialog you can use the node browsing navigator on the left 
 to locate nodes and then simply drag-n-drop them into the selected nodes 
 list available right-side. Click <span style="font-weight: bold;">Next</span> 
 to proceed.</p>
<h3>Step 2 - Intermediate Read &amp; Results</h3>
<p class="Picture"><img src="image63.gif" alt="" style="border: none;"
